Whether it’s a chunky earpiece (Yohan), a pair of shimmering pants (Badgley Mischka), a reflecting cap (OffWhite), beads and sequins (McQueen) an embellished pair of sunglasses, a piece of glitter glued to a face (Sirano) of a lot of high gloss hair (Moschino); a little shine never hurt nobody. And especially with the darker days coming up, we could use a little extra spark in our daily lives. Fit for a Christmas dinner as well as another day at the office. Life’s a catwalk, have a little fun with it. Eat glitter for breakfast & shine all day!

What better way to start the weekend than by watching a show filled with
the work of young design talents? Friday afternoon we all gathered at
de Nieuwe Kerk for the Lichting 2019 show. Fourteen graduates from seven
different fashion academies in the Netherlands all showed their
graduation collections in front of the Dutch fashion crowd and the
international judges. Fourteen very diverse collections touching today’s
themes. With his menswear collection entitled “Jack Saul”, inspired by
the beauty en struggles of a gay prostitute from the Victorian time,
designer Dylan Westerweel was chosen as this year’s winner. He won a
money prize of 10.000 euro and will get his own fashion show during the
next fashion week (as Ferry Schiffelers had this afternoon).
The winnner of last year’s Lichting show, Ferry Schiffelers, got the chance to show a full collection on Friday afternoon. A breathtakingly beautiful collection, which felt like a perfect fit with it’s show location (de Nieuwe Kerk). Layers and layers of tule, golden embroideries and a final dress completely made out of flowers. Elegant, delicate, graceful; what a delight to witness a show like this.
Last night Ronald van der Kemp kicked off Amsterdam Fashion Week with an evening filled fashion program. Almost every room at the Moco Museum was given a RvdK touch with pop art dresses, installations, clothing racks and the designers sketches. After the fashion guests had taken a look inside, they were invited outside for a little chat and some cocktails. Then, around ten Ronald shook things up as he sent out his models. Not just on an ordinary runway though, they came in on motorcycles, bikes and a car. All glammed up, dressed to the nines (in his latest 100% sustainable collection), only to get an extra touch up at Moco’s garden party a bit later. As Bella Hay spun some Golden Earring records by her hitsinger dad (who was attending the party himself) the Dutch fashion crowd enjoyed a splendid first Amsterdam Fashion Week night outside.
Our own fashiondictionary Kirking It is a verb, as in: you are kirking! It means to fall asleep while eating dinner with colleagues, while gently rolling ones upper body in a semicircle while wanting to go to sleep, eyes flipping inward uncontrollably. It happens because of jetlag and is age related. There is no cure yet.
